Alan Sugar, 76, takes a break from the boardroom of The Apprentice as he goes ashore on a posh boat in Portofino with wife Ann Simons

Lord Alan Sugar enjoyed a well-deserved break in the boardroom of The Apprentice when he went ashore on a posh boat in Portofino with wife Ann Simons on Thursday.

The 76-year-old businessman seemed to be in good spirits as he continued his lavish vacation on the Italian Riviera.

The couple took a long walk along the harbor to enjoy the breathtaking view before boarding the ship again.

He wore a white Ralph Lauren baseball cap and stepped out in a bright tank top and black shorts.

The entrepreneur shielded his eyes with sunglasses as he walked next to his loving wife who wore a red T-shirt and white cap.

Alan and Ann, who have been married for 55 years, looked as loved-up as ever.

They met when he was just 18 and started out as a businessman and married in April 1968 at the Great Portland Street Synagogue and honeymooned in Majorca for two weeks.

Speaking of his non-romantic proposal, Alan previously said, “It was more along the lines of, ‘I suppose we should get married then?’

‘Getting on one knee with a rose was definitely not possible in a restaurant. In fact, we were driving the minibus over the Stratford Viaduct at the time.’

During their lifetime, the beloved couple is the parents of three children and seven grandchildren.

His sunny escape comes after separating from another young entrepreneur in the wake of his divorce from The Apprentice winner Harpreet Kaur.

He called off business with entrepreneur Amani Zubair and her online jewelry company Gimme Gold, formerly known as Tresor.

Amani, 21, did not appear on The Apprentice, but rather told how she contacted Lord Sugar’s company during the lockdown and got a direct reply from him, which then led to his investment.
